I have been an assistant prosecuting attorney in Detroit, MI for fifteen
years. I work for Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy in the Wayne County
Prosecutors Office. I am now assigned to the Felony Trial Division as a
trial supervisor. I manage a team of seven assistant prosecuting
attorneys that cover five felony trial courtrooms.
Previous to my current assignment I spent approximately seven years in
the Homicide Unit specially assigned to complex and high profile
prosecutions.
I mention this to all my potential students. My visual trial skills make me
unique in my office. I've been asked to provide litigation support on all of
our office's most recent high profile cases including the infamous "text
message" scandal involving our former mayor (People v. Kwame
Kilpatrick and Christine Beatty). You too can learn these skills and save
your office time and money by becoming the in-house visual trial expert.
Teaching
I also teach Litigation Technology and Advanced Trial Practice at the
University of Detroit Mercy Law School and the Thomas M. Cooley School
of Law, respectively.
I am a faculty member with the National District Attorneys Association and
the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan teaching courtroom
technology and trial advocacy around the country.
I also travel training different prosecutor's offices, lawyers and other law
enforcement agencies on the art of modern advocacy.
I have provided trainings and/or lectures for the following agencies:
Courtroom Technology Course-National Advocacy Center (Columbia, SC)
Cook County State's Attorneys Office (Chicago, IL)
Detroit Police Department

Heritage
I am proud to continue the legacy of law enforcement as my father,
Inspector Patrick H. Muscat (retired), proudly served the Detroit Police
Department for 36 years. He is also the author of the definitive history of
the Detroit Mounted Police. His book has been accepted at the
Smithsonian Institute.
My father now spends his time trading in coins, watches and police
memorabilia. He is a licensed numismatist.
